2023 Ora Good Cat EV review - cheapest EV in Malaysia, from RM140k

Is Malaysia's most affordable EV any good? Here's our review, covering all the good and bad parts of the Ora Good Cat.

I agree on the looks. I would buy this just on the looks alone.

I test drove this car last month and it’s impressive. The sales and service center on the other hand, leaves a lot to be desired. It doesn’t feel as if they are ready to support any issues this car may have in the future. Even the sales person didn’t really know much about EV’s.

The user interface is also quite messy. I would get it if they sorted out the software - but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

I’m looking forward for your full review of the Atto 3.

Value wise, it seems at least to me, at that price range - the Atto 3 is the better value car.

Honestly the BYD Atto 3 seems like a much better deal considering that both the standard and long range versions get the LFP battery and it’s a bigger and more practical car.

Thanks Hafiz for another down to earth honest review. Love your summary 👍

How is the road tax being calculated for an EV in Malaysia ?
Also how waterproof is this car when there is like 20 to 30cm water on the road will that be a problem?
Is the battery the only difference between both variants? Or does the cheaper also have less functions ?

it looks so beautiful actually and I'm not seen in person yet at the moment but in blue or green looks gorgeous

[kckfen]

Waiting for BYD Dolphin to come to Malaysia... i think Dolphin will be the best cheap EV for Malaysia

[olivierkoh]

Fully agree, if I were to get this good cat I will go for the 400 pro too 👍🏻

[sirehnaquib]

Just now test drive. Ora good cat is a good car to consider👍

[lohchenghuat]

This car is the literal embodiment of form over factors and functions

[foraiza]

Hi Hafiz. You did mention that the 500 ultra is chargeable until 80% whereas the 400 is chargeable to 100%. Will it effect the battery warranty if you were to charge the 500 ultra to 100% capacity? Thank you bro.

[chaingshensaw]

Thanks for the great and fair result 👍 always like to view more from you all 💪 I bought one for my wife and the look’s definitely made her feel wonderful

[gordonsoo]

That price is so tempting seriously, wanted to get one

[kelvinjooling]

I followed behind a Good Car at night, the missing rear light on both side of the car (like other normal cars) is something I'm uncomfortable with. I quickly move aside to other lane. Uncomfortable bcos I feel it's dangerous for me to follow as I am unused to not seeing the rear light at the usual place even though it has a long light bar at rear screen. Try it yourself to follow behind one & you will udrstd my weird feeling.

Would also like to see a full review of the BYD Atto 3

this car would certainly catching my attention if i ever see one of these on the roads

Did a test drive, with a Honda Jazz hybrid as background. It is a seriously nice car, the Cool Cat. But iya.. the dashboard screen and software. For the AC, we were advised to just manually switch to fan when driving and it gets too cold. Seriously?

My worry is that the producer is so vastly remote from its ultimate customers, it's not gonna understand the need for a materially responsive software update >> yesterday <<, leaving all of us infuriated for years to come.

This is, after all, a Chinese made car. The customer there, ultimately, does not matter in the grand scheme of things. I'd love to see them prove me wrong, but I'm not likely buying this car until they do.

Compared to the Jazz, the speed fall back when you take your foot off the pedal is much more firm, it's almost like breaking. I suppose you get used to that. But that was the only remarkable "hmmm" I experienced when test driving this car.

[shockengin]

Good review, but you guys should display the figures when talking about numbers. Its quite confusing if hafiz or any presenter just talk like this. Overall, kinda like this cat, might consider it

[fuzzywuzzysk]

With the recent discount I'm sure it will peak the interest of consumers to consider

[zacharylee]

I hope there will be Ev closer to RM50k people would rather that without all the leather and interior buttons and designs.
